I just love love super love all dotty fabrics, and have made many projects over the years with dots. Here are some of the little pin cushions I made a while ago with some dotty scraps, and to see my most recent dotty quilt top called Sweet Treats - click here.For a long time, I wanted to sew Amber's Scrap Jar Stars. I first saw the blocks on Darlene's post on July 16th showing her beautiful quilt. This was the first dotty star block I sewed. Want to make a blue drink to match your blue dotty mug?!? Don't try this one...you won't like it...it's called Blue Sky. Yuck!You can check out the other two amazing Scrap Jar Stars quilts that inspired me....Lisa Ann's andKarin's. I started collecting some bright fabrics and planned to combine my favorite Kaffe Fassett Paperweight fabrics with scrappy dots.

What fun I had searching for polka dot scraps! A big thanks to Janet and Diane for sending me some extra polka dot fabrics to mix in from their stashes!

I used a slightly varigated yellow Aurifil thread for quilting and enjoyed every minute of the machine quilting with my newly repaired Brother sewing machine.I pieced a few more paperweights and dotty fabrics for a fun scrappy backing. And here is my finished quilt..."Dotty for Kaffe"! I used my favorite yellow paperweight fabric for the large blocks, and the binding...yum!

Thanks again to Madame Samm and Corrie for organizing more blog fun for us quilters...you give us so much inspiration! And thank you to Amber for her great tutorial and pattern for these star blocks, and for giving me permission to use her pattern for this blog hop.I am going to draw some names from the comments left on this blog post to win a little dotty pillow, so leave a comment and maybe you'll be a lucky winner!**Draw is closed - the 3 winners drawn are:**Debbie said...Adorable! Fun colors...fun blocks...all fun together.**Sara (My Semi-Creative Life) said...

What an adorable quilt! it looks really cosy. I love the pincushions as well, have recently started quilting and now I have an urgent need for more of them! definitely will make one with my leftover dots!

Scrappy, dotty and starry, what more could you want. I see a version of it in my future, soon. As for pincushions, I mostly use one I made when I first started sewing **years ago,but I need to make a small one on a wrist band, srap bag here I come.

I can see you LOVE dots! What a beautiful quilt. All the points are so very, very tight! I really like your pincushions too. I do believe I never have enough pincushions.....so I might try to make one of those!

I'm a big lover of dotty fabrics too - been collecting them for years, but can't decide which big project to make first. Until I cut into those fabrics, I won't have scraps - bummer!!! LOVE your dotty projects :)

Kathy. Love the stars. And I recognize the KF Paperweight prints. I have a whole pile of KF fabrics and need to use them. Why are we afraid to cut into these? They look so much better in your stars than on my fabric shelf! And now I can hear them whining upstairs because they have heard about your stars and they want to become Block Stars, too! I'm in big trouble (maybe I can sew one more block using them and have them in my blog posting on Friday?)Debby, in Northern VA

I love this quilt! It's darling! My favorite fabric in artsy style is that paperweight fabric too! I love it in all the colors, but the brown is my fav. I like that your dotty fabric does not overwhelm the design of the star. Sometimes dots can take over if you don't mix them up correctly. You did good!

Your quilt is so gorgeous! I love it with all the dots. I am currently working on my version of the Scrappy Jar Stars quilt and now I wish that I had used some dots.It really sparkles. Thanks for sharing.

I love that quilt! All those dots and Kaffe's fabrics too. It all goes together so beautifully. Love your little cushions too. I have a box of dots waiting for some great ideas. I have found many on this hop. Thanks for sharing.

I. LOVE. IT. Stars are fantastic and you took them out of this world with the dots! I am keeping that tutorial in my little book of secrets so I can try it myself. Thanks for sharing with us and what a great job!
